MySQL Plugins - first introduced in 5.1 - are server extensions that can be loaded into the running MySQL on the fly, without restart. This tutorial will teach what tasks can be solved with plugins, what a plugin consists of, and how to write a plugin that helps with your specific problem. Basic C/C++ and MySQL knowledge is expected, but no deep familiarity with either is required.

Linux and H/W optimizations for MySQL

Yoshinori Matsunobu (DeNA)

Choosing right Hardware components, configuring them properly, and optimizing Linux settings are very important for MySQL and other database server deployments. But they are frequently overlooked. Learning best practices will certainly improve performance and stability. Do you want to learn these best practices? This three-hour tutorial is for you.

This tutorial focuses on the diagnostic tools you can turn to when confronted with an unexplained performance problem. Tools explained include iostat, vmstat, and mk-query-digest. The emphasis is on practical usage under pressure, and less on performance theory.
